I'm not saying this shouldn't be done, but shouldn't this go through
some kind of vote process/discussion?
The channel now says its the "Official Apache Flex Channel" but no-one
has really commented on that yet have they, except Bertrand with
concerns. Does Apache Flex require IRC?
That said I do think IM speeds things up, but it would be very
difficult to make sure nothing is decided there after some good
discussion.

Bertrand, I completely agree. The IRC channel is *not* for Apache
Flex
project decisions, it is only a place to get Flex development
related help.
I will mention this on the project website.

I think that's cool *but* people should remember that "if it didn't
happen on the dev list it didn't happen".
In other words, IRC is fine as the equivalent of a coffee machine
chat
place, but no decisions should be made there, and as soon as a
discussion becomes "important" (whatever that means) it should be
reflected here.
